weeknotes family museum movies

This Week:

The biggest thing is that Alanna came back from Mexico. It sounds like she had a productive and edifying trip, and I’m glad she got to go, but it’s been wonderful to have her back here with us. Love you, baby!
Sunday, as a treat for helping to clean up, I took the kiddos to see “The Garfield Movie”, which they liked, and I didn’t. How do you make a movie about a lazy cat and their relationship with their owner? You make the cat go through Mission-impossible-style heist scenes and mostly leave the owner out of the movie. Content!
I also finally finished watching “Inside Llewyn Davis”, which was a strange shaggy-dog of a movie with excellent music.
We welcomed our summer museum assistants, Ethan and Vaughn, to the Museum. They’re going to work as visitor service assistants, as well as working on major collections and display projects. And they’re helping with our summer programs for kids!
Friday, we welcomed a visit from Valleyview elementary’s 4th graders. We love having kiddos in the Museum and teaching them about art, history, and archaeology.
In the meantime, I did some work on exhibit planning, repatriation planning, and program planning for the fall.
